The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu is hosting a special time-limited spotlight display of the Bentley Batur built by Mulliner, the bespoke and special vehicle division. With a limited production run of just 18 coupés and 16 convertibles, the Batur is the most powerful non-hybrid assisted Bentley ever built.

This sleek hard-top coupé’s, design is said to introduce and define Bentley’s bold new design language for the future electric and hybrid car era. It becomes the last series of cars that Bentley will ever produce with the iconic non-hybrid 6.0 litre twin-turbocharged W12, extensively uprated to produce 750 PS (740b hp) and 1000 Nm of torque.
Taking its place in the Museum’s entrance foyer for the summer, this exclusive luxury car is the one of the latest projects by Bentley’s in-house bespoke and special vehicles division, Mulliner*.
The Batur’s distinctive shape and ultimate bespoke interior was penned by the then Design Director Andreas Mindt and his team in 2023. The car itself is named after Lake Batur – a beautiful crater lake in Kintamani on the island of Bali, Indonesia.
The Batur’s engine performance has been paired with a bespoke chassis calibration by Bentley’s in-house handling team, featuring a tuned air suspension combined with electric active anti-roll control, eLSD, four-wheel steering and torque vectoring.
For each client, Mulliner’s design team co-create every Batur, working together to develop new finishes and materials to give their car a unique and personal touch, making sure that no two cars are ever the same.
Senior Product & Marketing Manager, Dev Sibal for Bentley comments: “These cars represent the pinnacle of bespoke for Bentley Motors and our clients. They’re used to pioneer the luxury materials and designs of the future, whilst giving our clients the ultimate grand touring driving experience. We’re proud to be able to be able to display our show car at this fantastic museum this summer.”
The Bentley Batur is on display at the National Motor Museum from 24 July – 7 September 2025, augmenting the Museum’s other exhibitions and displays such as Icons of Formula 1 and Beaulieu’s Supercar Weekend on the 2nd and 3rd August.
